Our Anniversary

Chris and I celebrated our 10th anniversary this year!  My... has a lot happened in our lives the past 10 years! I couldn't have imagined it any better that what we have had! So lucky, blessed and thankful!! Mom kept the kiddos while Chris and I went to a very nice dinner in downtown Dallas at Dakotas. Chris surprised me with a BEAUTIFUL necklace....Soooo sweet!!!

To MANY MORE happy healthy blessed years together!!!

Christmas

Christmas Eve in Prosper with The Carter Crew

Having some fun with a little photo booth set up !  Of course I would have something like this - haha


Our christmas tree most definitely made the post this year after the lights debacle I had! Only a select few know about my adventure with this one :) hehe

Miss Maddi and Sir Cade

Newly weds Kenny and Kim

Lily and Luke

Newly weds Frank and Lucy
Greg and Greta

 With 21 people at our house for Christmas tables filled our home. It was fun and A LOT of work (ha)!


Pat (my sister-in-law) said she felt like she was in The Elves house with all of the red, green and white and patterns I had going on.   I told her I would take that as a compliment!! :)
 We had a hot cocoa bar set up. It was delicious! I was so proud of my hot cocoa bar and I was also the only one who partook in it too! LOL  Apparently if I would have put some peppermint schnapps beside the set up I might have had more gathering around but most of our crowd were 20 somethings nieces and nephews enjoying wine and beer. :) Chris just laughed....another thing to add to my "vision" list that did not go so well! ha



 We all decided this year to not exchange presents. We enjoyed a nice dinner together, watched old family movies and celebrated all of our blessings!




Boy time !

Christmas Day at Brian and Jessica's

Love this boy! So glad we are as close as we were growing up!

 Look what Santa brought Miss Lily!

 Look what Santa brought Mr. Cade!

 The kiddos woke up to stockings outside their door.

 We all wandered downstairs and started opening presents...youngest to oldest...

Love this child!!!



 OMG....That's a happy girl right there!!! Gran got her Caroline.

 Cade said "Oh YEAH" He got Skylanders from us for Christmas!




 Everyone took turns with the bow and arrows!


 Pap Jack and Cade worked on Legos.



 We traded off working a puzzle with GiGi. Gi Gi is 90 years old.







 Time for another family dinner!

 Jessica's family came over to join in on Christmas Day dinner and partook in a bit of x-mas photo fun.
